Refractory Epilepsy Market to Reach USD 5.3 Billion by 2034

Refractory epilepsy-also known as drug-resistant epilepsy-is a severe neurological condition where seizures persist despite adequate trials of two or more appropriate antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Affecting roughly one-third of epilepsy patients, this condition significantly impacts quality of life, increases the risk of injury and comorbidities, and presents a challenge for clinicians worldwide.

The market for refractory epilepsy treatments is expanding, driven by new pharmacological agents, advanced neurostimulation devices, surgical innovations, and personalized care strategies. As awareness and diagnostic capabilities improve, global demand for more effective treatment options is set to grow steadily over the next decade.
